Hi,
I have no strong opinion and I don't think it matters much either way.
If we come up with an ingenious choice later (before the first release,
obviously), renaming is always a possiblity.
I agree ct is too short. Imho it shouldn't be too long either (because
then I have difficulty thinking the module name in my head -- not sure
if this explanation makes sense or is even relevant).
My personal favorite would be categories, because it is in keeping with
other sympy module names. This would suggest the unconventional
"manifolds" for the differential geometry module.
In any case, my suggestion (to both of you) is to not waste much thought
on the module name. It is used very seldomly in code anyway (because in
sympy we tend to "import the leaves").
Best,
Tom

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what name to give to the new category theory
module. I have considered a number of possibilities:
* ct -- this corresponds to the common abbreviation of "category
theory" as CT, but I'm afraid is absolutely non-suggestive;
* categories -- this seems to fit nicely with the nomenclature of
existing modules in SymPy (polys, series, integrals, matrices,
etc.), however, I am not sure as to the intuitiveness of this name
either; I wonder how easy it would be to confuse this name for
something having to do with categories in the sense of groups
resulting from a classification?
* cattheory -- looks the fairest of all, however, it looks somewhat
ugly to me (the double "t"); catheory looks totally abominable;
catstheory sounds better when read, but looks even uglier;
* categorytheory -- the fairest and the easiest to read, but it might
be a bit too long; it's my favourite though.
Which one would be more preferable in the opinion of the SymPy
community?
